What to do and see in Sosua, Puerto Plata Province: The Best Tours

July 7, 2021 Karren Gelb

Sosua is everything you want a beach town to be. Clear waters teem with coral, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Above sea level you’ll find multicolored sands lined with beach shacks. This small enclave of the Dominican Republic was once a haven for Jewish refugees. Historic sites and synagogues offer great perspective on Sosua’s postwar identity. On a lighter note, a community of ex-pats helps fuel a boisterous, international nightlife scene.

Great time. I did 2 dives and came back the next day for two more. Very organized and well run. Saw eels, lobster, crab, and lots of small fish. No long boat ride to the dive sites. Run by good people. You can’t go wrong diving with them. I will be back.
